Tried and True playdough recipe! The cooked version using cream of tartar works very well. It is easiest to add the food color to the water. It is also fun to substitute kool-aid packs for the food color for a nice scent as well as nice color. Kindergarten would like to have 2 different colors every month that are made using 4 cups of flour each. http://www.playdoughrecipe.org/playdough-recipes/traditional-playdough-recipe/
